What Drives Lynda Charles?
About myself and my art
My work explores the beauty and complexity of the human body, peeling back layers of self-perception and connection. With every piece, I try to create dialogue about identity and the relationships that bind us.
As a Nigerian woman, I draw from my cultural roots and the shared experiences of women, using acrylic and charcoal to tell stories of solitude, joy, longing, and resilience. The female form is my core inspiration and my goal is to portray it as honestly as possible, to evoke reflection and emotion.
For me, art is both personal exploration and a platform to amplify women’s voices, ensuring their stories are seen, heard, and valued.
